POST 7 Week of  January 27- February 1

First off thank you parents, Laramie High School Nordic, Medicine Bow Nordic Association, Medicine Bow Ski Patrol and all who helped with our race.  All I heard was how smooth things were going and how nice it was of a day for our kids.  Laramie Middle School skied very well!  You all did a great job! Parents if you have pictures you might want to share, I would be glad to have a few.  So would the Yearbook class for LMS.

As you can see, we are now into our skate portion of the season.  You can still come if you do not have skate skis or if you just do not want to skate.  The next two races are FREESTYLE meaning you can choose your technique.  Skating is usually faster.  You will not get disqualified if you choose to classic a race.
